Moving The Cursor One Character Space; Horizontal Positioning Keys; Vertical Positioning Keys; Backspace Key - IBM 3270 Operator's Manual

Pressing either of the two horizontal positioning keys (right
-+
or left.-) moves the cursor in the direction of the arrow, one
character position at a time. The keys are typamatic so that you
can move the cursor any distance quickly with only one
depression of the key. If you hold down the control key that
moves the cursor to the right, the cursor will move off the right
side of the screen and will reappear one line lower on the left
side. This is called cursor wrap (as explained on page 14). The
cursor will also wrap when moved to the left and will reappear
one I ine higher on the right side of the screen.
Operating the two vertical cursor positioning keys (up
t
or
down
1 )
moves the cursor in the direction of the arrow, one line
at a time. The keys are typamatic to allow you to move the
cursor any number of lines quickly and with only one depression
of the key. If a vertical positioning key is held down, cursor wrap
occurs. I n this case, the cursor reappears in the same character
position on the opposite edge of the screen that it occupied
before moving off the screen.
Pressing the Backspace key moves the cursor one character space
to the left for each depression of the key. This key operates
exactly like the horizontal (left) positioning key. (The duplica-
tion of function is provided for operator convenience.)
